DESCRIPTION
The type of diabetes mellitus called IDDM is a disorder of glucose homeostasis that is characterized by susceptibility to ketoacidosis in the absence of insulin therapy. It is a genetically heterogeneous autoimmune disease affecting about 0.3% of Caucasian populations (Todd, 1990). Genetic studies of IDDM have focused on the identification of loci associated with increased susceptibility to this multifactorial phenotype. The classical phenotype of diabetes mellitus is polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria which result from hyperglycemia-induced osmotic diuresis and secondary thirst. These derangements result in long-term complications that affect the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and blood vessels.
CLINICAL FEATURES
The term diabetes mellitus is not precisely defined and the lack of a consensus on diagnostic criteria has made its genetic analysis difficult. Diabetes mellitus is classified clinically into 2 major forms of the primary illness, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) and noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM;
125853), and secondary forms related to gestation or medical disorders. Appearance of the IDDM phenotype is thought to require a predisposing genetic background and interaction with other environmental factors. Rotter and Rimoin (1978) hypothesized that there are at least 2 forms of IDDM: a B8 (DR3)-associated form characterized by pancreatic autoimmunity, and a B15-associated form characterized by antibody response to exogenous insulin. Interestingly, the DR3 and DR4 alleles seem to have a synergistic effect on the predisposition to IDDM based on the greatly increased risk observed in persons having both the B8 and B15 antigens (Svejgaard and Ryder, 1977). Rotter and Rimoin (1979) hypothesized a combined form. Tolins and Raij (1988) cited clinical and experimental evidence to support the idea that those IDDM patients in whom diabetic nephropathy (see
603933) eventually develops may have a genetic predisposition to essential hypertension. Gambelunghe et al. (2001) noted heterogeneity of the clinical and immunologic features of IDDM in relation to age at clinical onset. Childhood IDDM is characterized by an abrupt onset and ketosis and is associated with HLA-DRB1*04-DQA1*0301-DQB1*0302 and a high frequency of insulin and IA-2 autoantibodies. On the other hand, the so-called latent autoimmune diabetes of the adult (LADA) is a slowly progressive form of adult-onset autoimmune diabetes that is noninsulin-dependent at the time of clinical diagnosis and is characterized by the presence of glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD65:
138275) autoantibodies and/or islet cell antibodies.
BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES
Nepom et al. (1987) studied the mechanism of the exaggerated susceptibility to IDDM in DR3/DR4 heterozygotes, and concluded that its basis is the formation of hybrid molecules of the closely linked DQ-alpha (HLA-DQA1;
146880) and -beta (HLA-DQB1;
604305) chains. The DR-alpha molecules are not polymorphic, and mixed DR alpha-beta dimers would not result in novel HLA molecules. On the other hand, both the alpha and beta chains of DQ are polymorphic, and a DQ alpha-beta dimer composed of transcomplementing chains would be unique to a heterozygous individual and not expressed in either parent. In the mouse, such transcomplementation has been demonstrated structurally, and epitopes newly formed in the resulting hybrid molecules allow for an altered functional immune response different f ...
